Today i did get, an Email from Parkitt Performance penceiling me in for the 27th for fitting of the quick shifter/autoblipper and a full custom rolling road tune with back-to-back testing between the Yamaha and K&N air filters... And a suspension set-up.

Exciting stuff unless you're my bank account (rock)

I will never use Parkitt unless I am desperate.

They were the least helpful, miserable and over-priced people I have ever used and they genuinely put a dampener on the trip.

It's a nice list to be doing to the bike though - I'm also a little jelly! :D

Welll out of 6 companies ive contacted only Parkitt and Jordan bikes replied at all, asked around and the consensus was that it takes a brave man to let Jordans tune it, im about half way between the two so distance isn't a factor. And the price was within £20.


You are the first negative comment ive seen about Parkitt

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the quality of their work is fine but their person skills and general manner at this event was so dreadful I'd never want to give them my money.

I'm sure they'll do a swell job for you mate, your bike is going to be awesome

Parkitt have always been really helpful whenever I've dealt with them.

It must be you they don't like Cav. ;)

Parkitt have had problem's with the rolling road but in the middle of last week they got it working, tested and gave me the green light to get it in for the work as I wait, I may video some of it if the exhaust makes some impressive fire.

More recently I have fitted a USB power supply with a built in Volt meter which is surprisingly accurate being within .1 of the reading on the multimeter, not overly happy with the "waterproof" cover but I have some silicone dust covers incoming and have sprayed a load of ACF-50 down it, it's safe for electronics so it should be good.

I'm at Parkitt now and they've fitted the hardware already, just about to get it on the rolling road

First run done on the baseline map, back to back the K&N made more power and torque above 9k, not much but its there... Now the real mapping begins.

151.6 din hp at the tyre, normal disclaimer applies (thats on this roller on this day etc etc etc)

That's healthy. How are the lines looking on the graph?

The phone signal is pretty crap here so i can't upload pictures but the lines look pretty smooth, Tony is leaving the throttle maps alone in standard and A then going 1:1 in B so no interference from the ECU just a direct grip to throttle body connection... Should be fun.

After calibrating the dyno again it dropped to 143 and its now making 153 at the wheel with 75 lbft, the mid range gains peak at around 10 hp.

That sounds more than spot on. Should be plenty of grunt for your needs. Have they smoothed out the fuelling?

Yeah I'm over the moon with it, just got to adapt my left foot to that shifter as I can't be lazy with it now. The battery is dead on the phone so I will get the pictures of the power curves uploaded on a bit...


I'm not saying it's smoother than before.... But I rode home in B mode in the rain with the traction control on full and it never interviened, it's so controllable now, but part of that is the tyres.
Daft, but near home on familiar roads I tried to make it misbehave and it just surged forwards, rapidly, with the TC just about keeping the front wheel down.
